Each activity features six comprehension skills questions that progress in difficulty. Extension activities following each lesson are designed to further students’ appreciation and understanding of poetry while focusing on the seven multiple intelligences.Four thematically-organized units per book include themes such as Fun and Wonder, All About Me, Different Seasons, Outside My Window, Tales to Tell, Musing, and more.
